About this product

Product Information

Turn a Nintendo DS into a mobile Japanese tutor with My Japanese Coach. This application from Ubisoft makes learning the Japanese language a fun and engaging process. A single-player game, it includes a large number of entertaining lessons and lots many mini-games. It is part of the larger Nintendo DS My Coach series of games and had a 2008 release date. This Nintendo DS game is full of fun features designed to make learning Japanese a breeze. For example, the Flash Cards feature plays audible Japanese words. The player then has a couple of seconds to select the correct English translation. Bridge Builder asks the player to build meaningful sentences. There are 12 of these game features in total. Word Search and Whack-a-Mole are two of the most popular games. All lessons are carefully structured, and there are 1,000 of them altogether. The emphasis is on interactive learning as opposed to rote memorization. A skilled user can learn around 10,000 Japanese words and 1,500 phrases. Each lesson has information on grammar, sentence structure, usage, and more. To ensure they are pronouncing words correctly, players use the microphone on the DS. Their pronunciation is paired against that of a native speaker. You can compare how you say a word to how it really should be spoken. You can then compare entire phrases once you have mastered individual words. In addition to speech, the language games also guide the user through the basics of writing Japanese. Stroke order is broken down in detail. Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji characters are all covered. Using a stylus on the touch screen hardware allows players to practice writing. They start with the simple tracing of characters and slowly progress in complexity. Gamers keep track of their progress as they advance to higher levels. The game is simple to play with no complicated rules to learn. To add to the fun, a digital coach named Haruka interacts with users to encourage them. She even uses hand and body motions to help you learn. If you know a bit of Japanese already, you can take the game's placement test. It allows you to enter the game according to your existing skill level.The game has numerous cultural and geographical components. Users travel through virtual displays of Japan, from Tokyo to the countryside. Useful hints for travelers to the country are included as well. There is a soundtrack of traditional Asian music that helps build cultural awareness. Unlike many other video games, the music is enjoyable and rich without getting annoying or insistent. Furthermore, this Nintendo video game has a Japanese language dictionary as a reference tool. It contains over 12,000 individual words and also has a number of helpful phrases. Learners can start with an English word or phrase and check its equivalent in Japanese. My Japanese Coach is terrific for children learning a new language. It's also great for adults who want fun reinforcement of existing or new skills. Playing this game allows you to travel to Japan with more confidence.

    Great Beginners Learning Tool

    Learn to listen, speak, read, write, and recall quickly! Fun mini games to help recall. Learn at your own pace. Practice in your own time or on the go. I was able to pick this up very quickly and recall what I’d learned immediately. Build your confidence by listening and speaking. Good value and very helpful for beginners, or for those who haven’t studied the language in a while and want to pick it up again (like me..)

    Great game

    I previously had this game & loved it. It's a great game to start learning a new language I really love it! I wish nintendo would come out with newer versions of these games.

    Couches in a fun way.

    It teaches well, considering that I don't have internet half of the time that I want to learn. I love the fun games: Wack-a-mole, Memory, Flash Cards, and more that I haven't unlocked yet.
